Salmon Arm is north of Vernon on Shuswap Lake - a fairly nonedescript American looking town with the main drag littered with McDonalds, Wendy's and other national drive-thru nasties. The first night we treated ourselves to a lux-u-ary (!) hotel room in a Best Western but fell asleep pretty much right away so the additional perks were wasted on us. The following night we booked ourselves into a sweet little log cabin just outside Salmon Arm where one of the campsite residents photographed a bear near their RV - eeeekkkk!!!!!
On Thursday we explored the malls of the town - which really are a "cultural delight"! Then soaked up the sun of the sandy shores of Lake Shuswap: a tranquil experience looking over the lake to Bastion Mt interrupted only by the mile long trains that pass very slowly every half an hour just metres back from the shoreline.Friday took to some hiking trails including a short one to Margaret Falls and another longer trail along some beautiful lakeside beaches and up through pine forests with great views of the lake.
